Don't normally ask stupid questions but, is it my understanding that the lyrics are part of the 12 page?

Yep, this is a fantastic challenge. I still can't download the song. I can imagine that song playing over the end credits of 'Frostbite'. Amongst the ripped throats and blood spattered snow.

so the lyrics, at some part of the script, will be written out? And the idea is for the reader/listener to play the song at a certain time?

If you'd like. It is your script.

There are no stupid questions.
You obviously need to hang out on these boards a little more....
As for the challenge, it is probably not my speed, but brilliant nonetheless. Very refreshing to see a fresh spin put onto this. Great work.
I know that some of the members have even been practicing dashing off a bit of poetry at rocket speed. That experience should serve them well.

Here's some clarification for everyone. The music should used as a tool to create lyrics. How and when you use those lyrics in the script is up to you. Don left stuff up for interpretation - so interpret. There's is no right way or wrong way to use the music. For that matter you don't have to assume that the given music will only play once - it may repeat twice or more, making the song longer. You would want probably want to avoid more than twice because you want to leave some room for the story - which is always very important. It is not essential but you should probably try to have the song be an integral part of the story (Ok, this is from me because it will piss me off if I see it just thrown in there for no reason). It is usual for lyrics to be written as dialogue. Hope this helps.
